Life science is the study of living organisms. The students who take up studies in life sciences will get practical experience in molecular and cellular life and also get exposed to plants and animals which are considered as rare in species. Biology and Medicine are known as the sub fields of life sciences.

Qualification Criteria for Higher Studies after B.Sc Life Science

The candidates who are really enthusiastic opt for higher studies in life science after their graduation. They need to really work well and score good marks. Reputed institutes and universities will take only students with at least 60%marks in their graduation. Those attending the final degree examination can also apply for the post graduation course. The candidate needs a pass mark in the entrance examination for getting admission in the college according to the wish of the candidate.
